Mountain Climbing by Beth Elaine Monday, July 21, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan For those who battle illness, the lonliness is the worst symptom. (My family is usually terrific, but occasionally they bale out on me.) Depression and self-pity are hard to shake---there are very few, even in my beloved family, that can walk through that valley with me.
Mountain climbing by myself despite my impoverished health-- Lonliness I dread the more than ache of head and muscles sore. If I whimper or complain, You parachute from the plane As though my condition Endangers your ambition. When the pinnacle I mount, When victory I gain, I'll forgive you for leaving me alone with my pain. My spirit grows stronger as my body betrays Enriched by only God, I will live above the fray.
